Conference Leadership
At the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ, our volunteer leadership plays a crucial role in supporting and operating all our congregations. Our Conference Board of Directors is tasked with representing the interests of our congregations at the conference level.

The Board of Directors consists of the Conference Minister, President, President-elect, Secretary, Treasurer, and twelve persons elected at-large, ensuring a diverse representation of voices and perspectives within our leadership structure.
